Convenience Centers

Catawba County offers five (5) Convenience Centers located throughout the County for solid waste disposal and recycling opportunities. To view a map of Convenience Center locations, Click Here.

A Convenience Center is a drop-off location where citizens who don't have curbside pickup can bring their trash or any items that can't be picked up by their regular trash service. The Convenience Centers are all staffed by an attendant who will be there to assist you with sorting your waste and pricing your drop-off. Prices vary and may be charged by the bag or by the size of your truck or trailer load. More information on fees can be found below in Convenience Center FAQs.

Recycling is free! Not all centers are equipped to accept all types of recycling, so please refer to our Recycling page for more information on where to take your items.

*The Sherrills Ford and Oxford Convenience Centers will close at 3:00pm on Christmas Eve
